Biografía

Maybelle Manio has been a public service professional for many years serving her community. As she attended graduate school at the College of Social Work and Community Development, she worked for a non government organization that helps rural and informal workers gain economic empowerment and a non profit engaged in providing direct health care services to women in marginalized communities. Maybelle has also been a volunteer teacher for a non profit who housed homeless, parentless children dealing with substance and sexual abuse issues.
She received her undergraduate degree in a major she created, “Pinay Studies: Race, Class and Gender in the Filipino American Woman’s experience” at San Francisco State University and served on the Student Center Governing Board. This is where she got her first taste of public service. She has also provided substance abuse prevention and treatment services for at-risk, urban youth in San Francisco, worked as a public service worker for welfare programs in one of the most marginalized communities in the Bay, and currently tirelessly works for a public hospital that is the only trauma center in the area. As a parent and member of the community, she wants to see all students thrive and achieve success, which is why she is running for the Jefferson Elementary School District Board. With her knowledge, skills and passion for helping her community, Maybelle knows she can help the district meet these goals.
